Crazed kid-killer Adam Lanza was a troubled “genius” who was painfully awkward and shy.
“I know he had issues,” said Beth Israel, whose daughter, Alex, went to school with Lanza. “He was a really troubled kid. I think he had learning disabilities.”
Adam’s brother told investigators that the gunman was autistic, sources said. Israel described him to The Post as a sort of autistic savant, saying he was “very smart, but he had issues. He was a real genius.
“He was just a weird kid. He was a very quiet kid, a shy kid, maybe socially awkward,” Israel added.
Connecticut neighbor Justin Germak, 17, said he knew that Lanza “had a condition.”
“You definitely notice it,” Germak said. “[He was] kind of, like, needy. I wouldn’t say antisocial, but struggling to be social.”
Lanza, 20, used two handguns, a Glock and a SIG Sauer, in the horrific massacre.
He left a high-powered, .223-caliber assault rifle in his car before his murderous rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, sources said.
His mother — who pals said like to host dice games at her home —was registered as the legal buyer of the guns, law- enforcement sources told CNN.

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich.

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E.
